Afternoon Tea

Afternoon Tea with the Best View in Inverness

Enjoy your lovely Afternoon Tea in Inverness with the best view overlooking Inverness Castle and the River Ness in the elegant lounge, sophisticated Brasserie, Lounge or stylish Eight on the River Restaurant! Book in advance to treat yourself and your friends to some great conversation and a chance to catch up over Afternoon Tea at the Inverness Palace. The tradition started in early 1800’s with the Duchess of Bedford having that “sinking feeling” in the afternoon as it was normal for only 2 meals a day. The Duchess started the tradition of a pot of tea and a light bites which she later went on to invite friends too attend at Woburn Abbey. The concept of “afternoon tea” took off an became part of high society!

The great thing about Afternoon Tea is it’s indulgent and so delicious and you can opt for only a light supper when you get home! Here at the Palace your afternoon tea is a delicious selection of freshly made sandwiches using local produce and a naughty selection of cakes.   Not forgetting the freshly made scones, thick whipped double cream and lashings of local jam!
